Falcons' Desmond Ridder Won't Be Benched for Taylor Heinicke After Jaguars Loss

The Atlanta Falcons are not making a change at quarterback.

Falcons coach Arthur Smith told reporters Desmond Ridder will remain the team's starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. Ridder has struggled mightily in back-to-back losses to the Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars, with the Falcons putting up only 13 total points.

The Cincinnati product has thrown for just 744 yards and three touchdowns against as many interceptions over the first four games of the season.
